# Why is the dropship price different from the wholesale price?

## Understand the difference between wholesale pricing and dropship pricing, and how each option works in HUSL.

The **Wholesale price** and **Dropship price** are different because they are designed for two different ways of selling products.

### **What is the wholesale price?**

The **Wholesale price** is the price you pay when purchasing products for your salon.

With wholesale:

- You purchase the product upfront.
- You hold the stock in your salon.
- You can retail the product directly to your clients.
- There is **no minimum order requirement**.
- You receive competitive salon pricing.

### **What is the dropship price?**

The **Dropship price** is the price your client pays when they purchase a product through your HUSL eStore and have it delivered directly to their door.

With dropshipping:

- You don’t need to purchase or hold stock.
- HUSL manages payment, fulfilment, tracking information to your client, and delivery.
- You earn **20% commission** on every dropship sale.
- The dropship price is set at the product’s **RRP (Recommended Retail Price)**.

### **Why is the dropship price higher than wholesale?**

The dropship price is higher because it reflects the **client retail price (RRP)**, while the wholesale price is your salon purchase price.

### **💡 Tip**

When purchasing wholesale products, use the **dropship price as your guide for the recommended retail price** when selling products to your clients.
